Planet Fitness

Brand new location in Burlington. Bright with lots of steppers and running machines. Almost all equipments are brand new.

It felt very strange to workout in a CLEAN PF!! The equipment is very nice and upgraded. It is only a day old and I hope everyone takes care of it. Only complaint is it makes the PF by my house look So, so, so.... awfully terrible.

Google Maps will take you to the entrance but not the parking 🅿️ lot. The way to the entrance is blocked by construction 🚧. You will have to walk a short distance to the entrance from the parking lot. No biggie! The good 👍 points: The work out area and men's locker 🛅 room were in good shape. There is a bar to hang your clothes, which I have not seen at other PFs. The shower I used was spacious and the shower curtain was in good condition. There is a lot of room to move around! There is a 360° Exercise & 30 Minute Workout area with a leg 🦵 curl machine. Ab and leg has its own section. The massage chair 💺 is an older that is coin operated model but it works. The rafters are dusted. The temperature was comfortable. WiFi available. The bad news: Two of the three staff members I interacted with were not pleasant. They seemed annoyed. The men's locker room has one shower and a urinal being repaired. One of the kitchen sinks wasn't working. There was not a cubicle to change after you took a shower. The music 🎵 was a little loud 🔊 in the locker room when I first arrived but I think 🤔 it was turned down later. I was wearing headphones 🎧 while I was there. What is beyond Planet Fitness' control, the clientele's attitude. I thought 💭 Portsmouth was bad! At least I encountered a little friendliness there. Almost every guy kept checking themselves out in the mirror 🪞, which was humorous. People seemed standoffish and brusque especially when I asked if they were done. While I was looking for specific equipment, I inadvertently made eye 👀 contact with one guy and he started staring at me angrily. There were a few weight slammers but every PF has that issue. I did see 🙈 a few people wiping down equipment and mats. If I need to use this PF again, I would because I know what to expect. The good points are enough for another visit.

The new location is definitely much nicer and I loved the new machines. I don’t think I’ll be back, they essentially cut the gym in half from the old one. It’s not only a smaller gym, but there’s half of the equipment, so if you go in with a plan for your work out it’s nearly impossible to hit all of the machines you want, as there’s only one of every machine for the most part. I waited for one machine the entire time I was there and finally gave up and left.

Nikki at this Burlington location is amazing! She is always helpful, friendly and has the best attitude! This club is clean and has ample available equipment! I live in Denver and go to the club in Colorado regularly, but when in Iowa every year for the holidays, I always look forward to going to the Burlington club! It is the highlight of my trip! Great job, and I highly recommend!
